Standards and regulations are set by various organizations and bodies:
- Government Agencies: National and local government bodies, such as the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) or the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), enforce regulations. - International Organizations: Groups like the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) and the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) set global standards. - Industry Associations: Many industries have their own associations that develop and promote standards, such as the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE).
